Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 7, 1908.

I Application filed July 8,1907. Serial No. 382.780.

To all whom it may concern: 7 Be it known that I, HAROLD BURRELL,

subject of the King of Great Britain and. lre

land, residing at 10 Yorlz street, Sietliold, county of York, England,have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Hhnd- Mirrors andLike Mirrors, (for which or a ortion thereof I have obtained protectioninreat Britain, No. 16,456, July 21, 1906,) of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.

This invention, for a portion of which I have applied for a patent inGreat Britain No. 16456, July 21, 1906, relates to improve ments in handmirrors and like mirrors having means for electrically illuminating; ob-

' lens as preferred.

The invention as applied to a hand mirror, for example, 1s illustratedin the annexed sheet of drawmgs to .wlnch reierence will be made.

Figure 1, is a front elevation of a circular rotatable hand mirror. Fig.2, back elevation of same. Fig. 3, back of mirror with contact block andhandle removed. Fig. 4, two

'views of contact block, detached from mirror.

Referring to the drawings which re: resent a circular hand mirror A,capable 0 being swiveled to any angle, and of being rotated so as tobring the electric lamp to either side, or to any point of its circularpath, the edge being protected by a circumferential 1netallic frame B.space C, prelcrably circular is cleared from the amalgam and from anyback covering, or a circular opening may be made through the glass andits cover ii prcferred, and a lens C either atlixed by cementation tothe front of the mirror over such cleared space, or inserted in suchopening, as

the case may be, arid secured therein by suit- I able means. Ifconcentrated light is not required, the lens is dispensed with.

At the back of the cleared space or open ing, and the lens, is fixed anelectric lamp D, secured to the back covering of vulcanite, wood, orother non-conducting material by a bracket D so that the light therefromwill be either concentrated and projected forward by the lens, or, if alens is not used, will illuurinate directly anything in front of theopening which will thus be reflected in the mirror. A mctallic rellectormay be fixed at the back of the electric lam serving also as a guardagainst accidenta fracture of the glass bulb.

The mirror shown in Figs. 1 and 2, is intended to be held in the hand ofthe user, but it may be supported upon a/ bracket or a stand of anyapproved design, either fixed or portable, and in order that the mirrorportion may be rotated or tilted in any direction.

without interfering with the continuity of the electric current and sothat the light may be reflected or rojectcd upon any part of the face(as woul be required for example in shaving) it is further constructedas follows Upon a center pin E, fixed to and projecting from the back ofthe mirror, is placed a contact block F, which is retained upon the saidpin by an outside nut G, Fig. 2. block F, is pivotally secured a handleH, of any preferred design, the one shown being carried by trunnions oraxes I, on each side,

and is curved or shaped so as to pass over the electric lamp 1), whenthe mirror is being revolved; the grip portion of the handle is providedwith a switch lever J, by which the electric circuit is made or brokenat will.-

The connecting electric wires K, may be carried directjto an electricsupply or may be made detachable from the handle, and be connected by.means of a plug iittin into a terminal at the end of the handle.instead of the trunnions I, a ball and socket joint may be usedifpre'ferred.

Upon the non-conducting back of the mirror, and let in flush with itssurface, are two insulated metallic rings or paths L, and M, connectedby wires N, with the filament of the electric lamp D.

The block F, carries two spring actuated contacts 0, which, when inposition, travel upon the circular paths L, and M. Wires from thesecontacts pass from the block down one or both sides of the bow of thehandle H, to the switch operated by the lever J.

If the mirror is not required to rotate but islonly inadejo swivel, thetrunnions or axes To the may i'beiocated. on o osite sides of the mirroritself, and the ock F, and circular paths I and M, may be dispensedwith.

I am aware that prior to this application a non-movable mirrorinrelation to its handle,

has been devised having an electric lamp and a lens, and I therefore donot claim such, but

What I do claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is:

1. The combinationwith a suitablesupsport, of a mirror rotatable on saidsupport the Inirror'and disposed on the rear of said lens. i

port, of a mirror, and. auniversal joint con:

- nection between the mirror and, sup ort f ranged at different anglesrelatively to-the whereby the mirror can be rotated an arand having aclear space or opening,

3. The combination with a suitable supsvepse support, the mirror havinga clear space and an electric lamp carried by the [IllIIOI' and arrangedin the rear of said clear space.

4. The combination with a rotatable mirror having a clear space, of anGiuOtIiO lamp located at the back of said clear space, a su port onwhich said mirror is ,rotatab y mounted a contact block pivotallyconnected to said support, spring contacts carried by said contactblock, circular conductors carried by the mirror and wires connect saidconductors with the filament of sai lamp.

The combination With a suitable support and a mirror swiveled on saidsupport 0 an electric lamp arranged in the rear of said opening,electrical connections between the said lamp and said support and anelectric 45 switch carried by said su port; In witness whereof I havehereunto set my hand in presence of two'witnesses!
